Ha, one of the two people we have failed to get up is also one of the most generally athletic people I know, or at least he plays a lot of sports.
I am not too tight to buy gas, but you are on the boat and i am pulling you around burning gas for you then i expect some compensation. It seems to be the norm where I am from, pitching in gas money is just what you do.David

When the wife doesn't want to pull me I set up my wave, get it to speed, grab my board, and start off the swim deck. Doesn't give her much choice.

These posts are great!! I would to see one started on what irritates people about other boaters, mine is watching people with high $$ wake boats pull tubes while doing S curves, absolutely drives me nuts!!!! On the rules for the boat, gas money and the such, I guess I'm fairly lucky in the fact that %80 of the time my boat leaves our lift, we are riding...so most of the people that come out are riders and either have boats, owned boats, or been around them for years, and just about every single one of them I trust driving my boat as I don't like to drive all the time. They also pitch in gas money, beer, help wipe it down and cover it as they know what it takes. We are lucky we get to gripe about our boats while others look on and consider us fairly privileged....as some has said on here a few times, relax, have fun, smile! But if someone is down right disrespectful or they just don't have a clue...crack that whip!

The fourth time the beautiful new mastercraft circled me with his tube in 3 minutes last weekend, in the ballast area on a ballast restricted river, while I was surfing, I started throwing my arms up. He's 50' away and doesn't even acknowledge seeing me, thankfully one of the kids on his boat makes sure to get his attention. I threw some air circles like I had a lasso in my hand and gave him the universal WTF signal. He left the area lol! Ffs, how come no one has figured out how to package and sell clues.

Completely agree.....enjoy the moments of fun with your kids!! My kids went through the same phase where tubing is all they wanted to do (especially when their friends were around) but as they grew older (now 19 and 21) they don't like tubing nearly as much and are back into wakeboarding and surfing. For the first time since I can remember we are almost to Aug and still have not inflated the tubes!!

This thread has been a whole lot of fun to read...from the insight of other's thoughts, to the venting and griping (I'm guilty of being a 'lil OCD and anal myself). I have to remind myself these are #FirstWorldProblems and we are all very blessed.

Sorry, I should have clarified, I don't mind people tubing, it's the people that do it from their towers and have no concept of sharing the lake with others..... I'm all about family fun on the water

I would pull the tube all day. It's peaceful in the boat and the kids are having fun!
This was a fun one ripping up some smooth water. All smiles. Then panic. Then yard sale!
